I've been at Bandelier National Monument for a month now, and I'll be here for only 2 more (into early-mid November). I hike every day, which is an ecclectic mix of amazingly wonderful and very challening--mostly for myself, not physically.
I spend a bunch of time based out of a little backcountry ranger cabin, where I get to explore and check people's permits and monitor arch sites. But really, I tromp around wherever I want. I miss talking to people, so I enjoy the chance to come into the frontcountry or connect with the interp staff.
